Once the primary and secondary machines are configured and
synchronized, you can get the status information about your DRBD
device by viewing the output from
/proc/drbd:
root-shell> cat /proc/drbd
version: 8.0.4 (api:86/proto:86)

act_log: used:0/257 hits:24765 misses:33 starving:0 dirty:0 changed:33The first line provides the version/revision and build information.
The second line starts the detailed status information for an individual resource. The individual field headings are as follows:
cs: connection state
st: node state (local/remote)
ld: local data consistency
ds: data consistency
ns: network send
nr: network receive
dw: disk write
dr: disk read
pe: pending (waiting for ack)
ua: unack'd (still need to send ack)
al: access log write count
In the previous example, the information shown indicates that the nodes are connected, the local node is the primary (because it is listed first), and the local and remote data is up to date with each other. The remainder of the information is statistical data about the device, and the data exchanged that kept the information up to date.
You can also get the status information for DRBD by using the
startup script with the status option:
root-shell> /etc/init.d/drbd status
* status: started
* drbd driver loaded OK; device status: ... [ ok ]
